Twin Lies features twins Nicole and Lauren Peters. One is a barista and the other is a high-end escort. They trade places and when the non-escort twin is in over her head, the real escort comes to her rescue. I have never wondered what an erotic thriller would be like if it was made as a Lifetime movie but here we are. There is a little bit of language and violence, plenty of sexy clothes but nothing beyond that in terms of sleaze. This can be cheesy at times and at other times entertaining.
Honestly this movie surprised me since it's one of the few Tubi Original movies that are actually good.

A fun and fluffy bit of intrigue wherein one might find an answer to the question: what kind of shenanigans would the Wakefield twins get into as adults (and were also Canadian)? Nina = Jessica; Victoria = Elizabeth. Ryan is a decent stand-in for Todd Wakefield, but Curtis is a definite improvement over Bruce Patman. Also second-cousin Penelope is the best and I would totally party* with her
*drink wine and talk shit
Struggling barista Nina (Nicole Peters) is the black sheep of her family, and her more accomplished sister Victoria's (Lauren Peters) wedding isn't making her feel better about herself. But one evening Victoria is forced to reveal a shocking secret to Nina: Victoria is not a "consultant" as she's told everyone--including her fiance!--but is in fact an escort for the super-rich. She wants out of the game, but she's got one more job and an impossible conflict. She enlists Nina to take over the gig for her, an evening just hanging out with billionaire tech entrepreneur David Linx (Shaun Benson). The plan works too well, though, and Linx hires "Victoria" for another week of companionship. Nina thinks he's a good guy,…
this had all the building blocks it needed to be one of the filthiest, horniest movies ever made.
sadly it's pretty clean stuff. no sex, no nudity. so much potential left on the table.
but it's still pretty fun. thoroughly goofy, light as a feather, breezes by nicely.
somebody cast them as twin goths. please. i'll chip in for a gofundme or what have you.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Nina (Nicole Peters) is a barista who was originally going to school to be a lawyer before deciding that she didn't like where her life was going. Now, however, she's deep in debt and floating through life, keeping people like her regular hookup Curtis (Alexander Eling) at a distance. She's the opposite -- or so it seems -- of her twin sister Victoria (Lauren Peters), who is a consultant about to marry the love of her life, Ryan (Theo Vandergraaf). Again, all things are not as they appear, as it turns out that Victoria is actually a high end call girl and she needs her sister to go on one last date for her, meeting the very rich David Linx…
It's just that tumblr gif of the guy whipping a bed with his belt on loop set to a Jelly Roll extended 8hr youtube mix, while occasionally an epic quirk chungus comic subliminally flashes.
I have several top tier streaming services and yet somehow I end up getting stuck on Tubi. These Tubi originals are no joke. Twin sisters Lauren and Nicole Peters star in this thriller, and they are surprisingly really good actresses. I’m always surprised when Tubi films turn out better than the larger budgets. Like I was totally mesmerized the entire movie. One twin takes her sisters place for an escorting gig, and it becomes increasingly dangerous throughout. I will say that the ending felt a bit anti-climactic, but other than that it’s a solid watch. Especially for the crime-drama nerds. 🤓
Blair from the podcast Girl Historians said she was in a Tubi movie so I went and watched the movie. Genuinely think she was the best part so cheers to Blair
